Batik usage question

[Rao, Begur N (ESEA IS&A)]

I am trying to read SVG file using Java and trying to extract all
component information. Though SVG follow an XML standard, I do not see a
proper XML schema in the SVG file. Is it possible to extract information
from SVG file using Batik? If so, can you please send me Java example?
Are there any other methods to extract the information from SVG? 
  
Thanks
